I'm running Win XP Home SP2 and I have religiously maintained current Norton 
Antivirus definitions and have done weekly virus scans.  In fact, I recently 
ran a free online scan from the Trend Micro website.  All scans have been 
consistently negative.

Today I downloaded and ran the free version of Avast antivirus and it found the 
Win95 Spaces virus in an mp3 file that I had downloaded over a year ago.  I 
then scanned that specific file with NAV and it did not find a virus.

Can anyone shed any light on this disparity?  Is there a "gold standard" virus 
scan that I can do?  Will simply deleting the mp3 file solve the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Mike Bishop
